[solved] Installation Difficulty

[peterbisset]

Hi,

I have followed the installation instructions in the user guide and have uploaded the CMS system to my 1&1 server following all of the steps outlined in the guide. Unfortunately when I try to access the page - http://s328791098.websitehome.co.uk/cms/ I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/4/d328791089/htdocs/cms/lib/test.functions.php on line 36

Please can somebody help?

Thanks,
Peter

What version do you try to install, seems like you are missing PHP 5.2.x

See requirements: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... quirements

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to install version 1.8.2. The 1&1 documentation states that my server has:

PHP  4.4.9
PHP5 5.2.13

Is this ok for CMS Made Simple?

Consult your provider how PHP5 is being enabled via .htaccess file.

To be sure what version you are running create new php file with this line of code:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Upload to your webspace and you will see exact PHP version currently running.

Edit: Here it is from 1&1 documentation
Create a txt file named htaccess with this line of code

Code: Select all

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Upload to your /cms folder and rename from htaccess.txt to .htaccess and you should be able to install.
